BTech Biomedical Engineering Syllabus and Subjects 2024

Kripal Thapa

The B.Tech Biomedical Engineering syllabus includes basic science, core technical, and elective courses that may be general electives, interdisciplinary or domain-specific courses. In the first year of B.Tech Biomedical Engineering, students learn the core subjects. From the second year onwards, they learn specialized and elective subjects.

In addition to academics, as a part of the program, students receive industrial preparation. Colleges give soft skills and aptitude training so that students are job-ready once they graduate. Essential subjects in this field are biomaterials, pharmaceutical microbiology, etc.
